"if you have any other information of stories you have heard would love to hear that also."




I heard one about a guy who asked too many questions on a BB...;)

It occurs to me that that sort of information could also be used to make a poser more credible.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Wouldn't that be a case of you calling the kettle black? As a guest, and a person who has never served in the military, I wouldn't think you have the best credentials to champion this subject.

I would love to read your pamphlet on "How to Win the Super Bowl" though as I have never been able to win one so far on my own,,,

Dusty -- Put a smile on my face-- trying not to ask to many questions --

Richard --- Thanks for book info going to read them.

Reaper -- good thought didn't think about it in those terms --

Blue -- Not sure if it is pot calling kettle black since I am not claiming any experience etc.

I don't think military experience is a prereq to championing a cause such as this. Is it wrong to try and find out as much information as possible so I can be prepared when it is time confront a poser? If I am ever in a bar and hear someone bragging about being SF I will have the knowledge I need to verify his credentials.

Thanks all for your responses and if anyone is in the Sarasota area I would be more than happy to meet with you so you can look me in the eye.

Thanks again for everything...
